Hi!

This looks ok. Althoug it is nasty hack :(( I do not think we can do better here...

Two nits - after them feel free to push, and dont forget to changelog :) (mentrion all changed 
files/functions..tabs.. blah blah :)
1)
+//the JS<->J tests tend to make Opera unusable
+    public final boolean doNotRunInOpera = true;

Would be worthy of aligning.


2)
+            Browsers b = server.getCurrentBrowser().getID();
+            if(b == Browsers.opera){

Imho worthy to comprim to one line:+
+            if(server.getCurrentBrowser().getID() == Browsers.opera){

But I do not insists.

Are those really all? Small change :) [do not forget to include also in future tests of JS api]

  Thanx
    J!
